Doomed to Failure.

TRAIL OF THE UNIONIST. hi mini—ii ULSTER PRESSING ON. [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] [United -Press (Association.] London, July 11. It is officially stated that the Ulster Provisional Government resolved that it is willing to consider any proposal for preserving Ulster's rights under the Imperial Parliament, but distrust the Government's bona fides, and are compelled to press on arrangement's to resist the imposition of Home Rule. The executive was instructed to act accordingly. The Provisional Government enjoined on supporters to see that everyone within Ulster enjoys full civiv and i - eligious freedom, and urged the loyalists to maintain the same restrain! as hitherto in carrying out whatever forward step the executive considered desirable.

TORY SENSATIONS. Liberal papers declare that Ulster has been invaded by a horde of Tory journalists, and warn their .readers not to accept the sensational statement made. They express disgust that the moment when the moderates of all parties are striving for a settlement is deliberately chosen to scare the public and intimidate the Government. General Pole-Carew inspected the Glasgow Ulster volunteers, bidding them to learn to hit the mark. The British League for the support of Ulster enrolled in England, Wales and Scotland twenty thousand men pledged to go to Ireland at a moment's notice.

MR CHURCHILL OPTIMISTIC. Mr "Winston Churchill, speaking at Dundee, said he believed that a settlement would be reached to which both Houses would contribute. "STORM MAY BURST AT ANY MOMENT." The Orangemen give a guarantee that good order will be observed during the Boyne celebrations. Unionist papers publish despatches and editorials warning the public that the storm may burst at any moment. One paper declares that Sir Edward Carson, in his speech to the Ulster Council, said that the height of the crisis was hardly more than a mattei of minutes. Mr W. H. Long, interviewed at Belfast, said the feeling was such that any attempt at peace-making on the basis of compromise was doomed to failure.

MORE ARMS LANDED. A steamer landed at Belfast three hundred rifles and ten thousand cartridges concealed in tyres. A portion? of the consignment was despatched to Derry. It is reported from Tralee that 2500 rifles of the French pattern were landed on the Kerry coast. Acording to the Daily News, the new session opens at the end of November. WITH DRAMATIC EFFECT. A surprise demonstration awaited Sir Edward Carson's party at the gates of Ulster Hall, 250 shipyard workers being drawn up in close order, having marched from Craigavon to salute their leader. Sir Edward Carson was deeply touched. He conversed with the men, who, after cheering the King, returned to work.
